North Carolina Mother Shoots Her Family Before Killing Self

There is no rhyme nor reason to crimes of passion. Arguments could remain just heated arguments if guns weren’t added to the mix of emotional ambrosia between the heated parties. But, having a gun available gives the incident the potential to end in tragedy.

Sandra Palmer, 47, of Greensboro, North Carolina, applied for a gun permit December 11, and picked it up December 20. Not even a month later, she would kill her son and herself. According to Greensboro’s Fox 8 report, authorities said an argument erupted between Palmer and her family in the early morning hours last Monday, January 7, at the Robyn’s Glen Townhomes where they had been renting a home for the past year.
